1909-11 T206 Piedmont Walter Johnson, Hands at Chest SGC 80
EX/NM 6. A wonderful example of the artistry found among the
classic T206 production's incomparable gallery, this "Hands at
Chest" pose of Washington star Walter Johnson boasts an elevated
level quality in preservation. Too many collectibles of the period
- which were admittedly ephemeral in conception - lend only cursory
acknowledgement of details that distinguish a time. Within the
context of so many vintage trading cards available in the hobby,
this Johnson commemorative, with its lovingly crafted design,
stands apart to afford a splendid view of the game's much-revered
past. Its sole concessions to time is some slight wear at corner
tips and has otherwise defied time's aging effects. The card back
displays an exemplary "Piedmont - 350-460 Subjects" reverse. Graded
SGC 80 EX/NM 6.
